History
In 1893, the commune of Cabans was renamed Le Buisson. In 1960, Cussac and Le Buisson merged to form Le Buisson-Cussac. In 1974, the communes Cadouin, Le Buisson-Cussac, Paleyrac and Urval merged and formed the new commune Le-Buisson-de-Cadouin.[3] Urval separated in 1989.
Cadouin Abbey (founded in 1115, dissolved in 1791) was formerly situated here.
